MESQUITE -- A Mesquite home on the north side of Interstate 15 was the target of a "drive-by shooting" around 4 a.m. Monday.

Sgt. MaQuade Chesley, Mesquite police public information officer, confirmed detectives are investigating but would not disclose further details.

The homeowner, who requested anonymity because of the nature of the incident and whose exact address was not released, told the Desert Valley Times at least four rounds were fired at his house Monday morning. There were no reported injuries.

Although the incident is being characterized as a "drive-by shooting," police would not confirm if a vehicle was involved.

Those inside the house during the shooting included the homeowner, his wife and two daughters. At least one bullet lodged in a bedroom wall of a third daughter who is away at school, the homeowner said.

"I never thought anything like this could happen in Mesquite," he said. "I have no idea who would have done this. I have no distinct enemies here in town that would have done something like this."

The incident began about 4 a.m. when "something woke me up," the homeowner said.

"I didn't know what it was for sure but I got up and walked around inside the house," he said. "I looked around, checked on everyone but I couldn't find anything so I went back to bed.

"About five minutes later I heard two distinct gunshots," he said. "I grabbed my weapon and looked out but I couldn't see anything."

The homeowner said he was at first unaware that his home had apparently been the target of the gunshots he'd heard in the dark.

"This morning when my wife and daughter were on their way out, they noticed two holes through the door," the homeowner said. "The bullets went through the door, through a window at the other side of the room and lodged in a bedroom wall."

Although that bedroom was empty, it is flanked by two other bedrooms that were occupied by sleeping children.

"Maybe this is a mistaken thing," the homeowner said. "This is a nice neighborhood. Maybe this is a just a fluke thing."
